Associate Professor of Ecology (Biology Department, University of Padova) since 01-02-2019.Web site: https://chiarapapetti.wixsite.com/PapettilabORCID ID: https://orcid.org/0000-0002-4567-459XBibliometrics: 43 papers, 503 citations, H-index 14 (Scopus, 30.04.2020)Major research interestsMy major research interests consider molecular ecology of marine organisms and focus on the way population connectivity and genetic structure may be impacted by changing environmental conditions. Research areas are the Antarctic and sub-Antarctic, the Mediterranean and the Adriatic Sea. At present, specific research topics are:- Population connectivity of notothenioid fish species,- The mitochondrial mutation rates in relation to species’ max lifespan in pelagic notothenioid fish,- Hybridization among Antarctic notothenioid species of the icefish family.Education24.03.2006PhD in Evolutionary Biology, XVIII cycle, University of Padova, Italy21.03.2002Master of Science in Natural Sciences, Grade: 110/110 summa cum laude, University of Padova, ItalyMain funding as a PI in the last 10 years2019-2020Seed funding, Biology Department – University of Padova – 6900€2018-2019Funding by “the Mohamed bin Zayed Species Conservation Fund” (8000$)2017Italian Ministry of Research and Education Funding for basic activities related to research (FFABR) (3,300€)2016Biology Department – University of Padova - Research Funding (PRID 2016), total funding 59,355€ (grant number BIRD164793)2013Marie Curie Intra-European Fellowship (contract started May 2014) score 94.4/100, total funding 217,000€2013Hanse-Wissenschaftkolleg (HWK, Delmenhorst, Germany) 9 months award as visiting scientist2012-2013Two years Postdoctoral position of the University of Padova, Italy, Project number GRIC110B82 (salary)Teaching and supervision of studentsEach year, I train between two to five master students in my research topics and methodologies. At present, two students are working with me and with my collaborators abroad over a range of different research topics and target species, from population genetics of fish to ecology and adaptation of invertebrates. During the last academic year, I have taught three courses: Elements of demography and molecular ecology of marine organisms (first time), Biological responses to climate change (since 2016) and Ecology methods for environmental sciences (since 2014). I’m volunteering in an Intercultural Peer Observation activity and I’m now part of a group of change agents from different disciplinary fields aimed at supporting the development of innovative teaching for adult learning.Committee activities (last 4 years)2019- 2020Member of the Scientific Liaison Panel (SLP) to conduct the scientific evaluation of the EUROFLEETS+ proposals (evaluation meetings 21-23 January 2020, Bremen, Germany, 9-10 June 2020, online) see panel at: https://www.eurofleets.eu/access/scientific-liaison-panel-slp/2019-2020Member of the Departmental Commission for Projects and Postdocs (CDPA)2019Member of the PhD Commission (32nd cycle) in “Veterinary Sciences” (16.12.2019)2019Member of the Departmental Commission for the evaluation of candidates for two fellowships to study the distribution and ecology of Salamandra atra aurorae in Asiago (Italy) Call number 20-20192017-2019Member of the Italian Society for Evolutionary Biology directive and scientific board
